Amo Statement on 2024 Presidential Election

 

 

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Gabe Amo (RI-01) released the following statement on the results of the 2024 presidential election:

 

“We saw Americans participate in the sacred exercise of democracy by voting in a free and fair election. I hoped to turn the page on the divisiveness we heard and saw to support an agenda focused on unifying our country and securing economic opportunity for all to thrive. While I am disappointed by the results of the presidential election, my hand remains extended to serve Rhode Islanders in Congress. Today is a day of reflection, but tomorrow, we get back to work. Our nation’s leaders will need to move forward with the intensity of our convictions to strengthen our democracy, protect our freedoms, and have an inclusive future.”
